Things That Go Together: The Sesame Street Martians and the Warner Brothers' Gophers

In this wide random world full of stuff and stimuli, there's some things that just go togetherin your mind. Oh, you know it to be true -- is it that rubber-rainboot yellow that goes with the sound of rain? How about the smell of your grandma's house, which is the smell of peace of mind? Or the sound of seagulls, forever linked to that one special memory, the day when you -- ? No, no need to tell me. I can tell you know what I mean now.

They're not always quite so profound -- but like a good double feature, your brain will sometimes draw a line between two things in life and say to you, Here, look. Like the Sesame Street Martians and the Warner Brothers' Gophers. Both are pairs of tiny, unworldly little creatures in an us-against-the-world pairing -- one never without the other. This double duo exemplifies a common theme that has no name but now, thanks to one conscientious blogger, has a fan pic.

Sesame Street has Martians? They must be a recent innovation occurring in the past few decades since I last saw the show. It looks a bit goofy and confused to me. What else goes together - a butt plug and a nipple clamp?

Aren't these the Mah-nah Mah-nah martians? Haha - great drawing!!What goes together for me? In relation to childhood, I'd say Pop-Tarts and cartoons. Somebody was making some in the work kitchenette the other day, and I wanted to plop down and watch 3 hours of Josie and the Pussycats.
